On Friday the federal government began sending hundreds of unaccompanied children to a holding center in Nogales, Ariz after they had been caught crossing the Texas border to enter the United States illegally.

While the issue of undocumented immigration has been declining in recent years, dreams of a better life keep calling unaccompanied children and parents with children to take their chances with border hopping.

The massive influx of unaccompanied children entering the country in recent months have rendered many Southwestern states—especially Texas—unable to accommodate all of the new migrant children fleeing the rampant drug cartels and gang violence of Central America.
